Tonights a tough game, who do you want to see lose more. Guess draft picks beats more dog pain. Swan beating the Cats and Saints beating the Blues would be nice.

    in a very long season it's still time to think about the final 4

    A game in Perth is off the radar but SA Qld and Sydney are possibles

    On that basis Cats over Swans and the miracle of Eagles and Hawks over the two Adelaide teams

    Giants over Lions

    Freo over dogs for the obvious reasons

    The rest ????

    I don't trust Carlton but wouldn't be surprised with an upset for reasons I can't explain.

    There will be shocks and upsets this weekend. If there wasn't we'd all load up on the punt and get 8/9 winners every week.

    Wouldn't be shocked if Hawthorn knock off Adelaide. Hawks play their best footy in Launceston and Adelaide have been home for 4 games in a row so will need to adjust to foreign territory.

    Giants could also knock off Brisbane in Canberra if all goes right for them.

    North could lift for Goldy??

    Not a chance West Coast could upset Port though with their glorified WAFL side.

    Hard one for the Dogs coming off a tough game against Port.

    I can see the Swans pulling off an upset.

    I can’t conceive of any reason why I’d prefer freo to win a game this year other than if it ensures we get a better finals position.

    The only time I barracked for the eagles in my life was round 3 this year. And I really dislike the eagles.

    I’d be very surprised if the hawks beat Adelaide. Crows will win by 40+ I reckon. And they will play finals this year.

    Still don’t think Freo is playing as well as they could.  Even last week they only just got over the Suns.

    The only wildcard is it’s in Perth, but the doggies have played there a lot so they know the ground and the weather will suit them. They have a better defense v fwd over the Freo matchups.

    Fingers cross the doggies can get a good game going.

    Nice idea to have veterans standing between each player.

    I'm not really fussed about tonights result. Hope it's a good game

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
